About this map

The Walt Whitman Birthplace anchors this mid-century landscape where suburban expansion meets the North Shore of Long Island. The transition from the harbors of Cold Spring Harbor and Inner Harbor to the dense street grids of Huntington and Hicksville is clearly visible. The map documents an era of significant institutional development, featuring the State University Agricultural and Technical Inst, the Suffolk State School, and several specialized academies such as the Eastern Military Academy.

Major transportation arteries including the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway intersect the terrain, reflecting the post-war growth of South Huntington and Plainview. To the south, massive dedication to memorial spaces is evident in the sprawling grounds of the Long Island National Cemetery and Pinelawn Cemetery, contrasted by the recreation areas of Bethpage State Park. The map preserves local history through sites like Old Burial Hill Cem and the Carnegie Institute.
